Solomon Genealogy & History

Solomon is an ancient name, widespread in most of Europe, including England, Germany, Italy, Scotland, Spain, and Portugal. It is of Ashkenazic origin, derived from the Hebrew male given name "Shelomo", which was derived from "shalom", meaning peace. Popular among both Christians and Jews in the Middle Ages, it was a nickname for someone wise, referring to King Solomon of Israel, renowned for determining which of two women was the true mother of a baby. The variations in Solomon genealogy include Salaman, Salman, Salmond, Solomann, and Salomons, among others. Solomon family history dates back to ancient times in Rhineland, Germany, and 1715 in Virginia.
